About The Role

We’re assembling a world-class research group focused on making that vision a reality. If you're excited by open-ended technical challenges and want your work to directly shape a product used at scale, read on.


What You’ll Do

As a foundational member of our research team, you'll work across the stack—from algorithm design to deployment—to unlock new capabilities in autonomous agents.

You will:

  • Invent and prototype new approaches in planning, memory, multi-agent systems, and learning from human feedback.

  • Deploy at scale, with real users and datasets, running experiments across large compute clusters and iterating rapidly.

  • Design practical systems, working closely with engineering and product teams to integrate research into production-ready tools.

  • Define best practices around model evaluation, safety, and alignment, helping establish a research culture focused on impact and rigor.

  • Mentor and collaborate, working with engineers, interns, and collaborators from different backgrounds to maximize team output.


What We’re Looking For

  • A graduate degree (or equivalent experience) in machine learning, reinforcement learning, NLP, or related fields.

  • A track record of high-quality research—through papers, open-source work, or real-world deployments.

  • Proficiency in frameworks like PyTorch or JAX, and hands-on experience training large models on distributed infrastructure.

  • A willingness to dig into all levels of the stack—from modeling to debugging data pipelines or UX prototypes.

  • Passion for fast-paced, collaborative work and an eagerness to ship working systems—not just write about them.

  • Availability for in-person work in the San Francisco Bay Area.


Why This Role?

You’ll have the chance to:

  • Drive core innovation in one of the most ambitious areas of applied AI.

  • See your research make it into users’ hands—fast.

  • Shape both the culture and direction of a company in its earliest stages.

  • Work with peers who combine academic depth with startup speed.
